USA Baseball released its 20-man national team roster yesterday, and for Cape League general managers, most of the interest was in the names missing from the list, rather than those on it.

Ten players who had been on Cape League rosters before receiving Team USA invites did not make the cut. One had previously withdrawn his name from consideration.* Two players will be added to the national team roster in the coming weeks, but many of the players who were left off could be making their way to the Cape soon.

Highlighting the list of Team USA cuts who could have a big impact on the Cape League is Rice pitcher Ryan Berry, who would help a Bourne pitching staff that has struggled in the early going.
